Hi Peeps,
 
I have created yet another ambient soundscape dedicated to the late Iain M. Banks, creator of many an excellent sci-fi novel.

Absynth 5 was used in liberal amounts, with the odd instance of Hive, Korg Polysix, ARP2600 and Moog Modular.
 
And copious amounts of delay and reverb, even though you don't get that in a vacuum
 
cheers

That was an interesting 9:00 minuets, I would love to hear a 5.1 mix.

The Arp and Moog from Arturia Andy?  nice mix works well here.

very cool again Andy - as Wookiee says above, this would be amazing in 5.1 with a big subwoofer too.
Your attention to detail is amazing - so meticulous.
Have you tried scoring video? How about finding some stock scifi video and putting a soundtrack to it?
 

Sonically, this is one of the best ambient pieces I've heard.
 
I'd like to listen to this in headphones whilst walking around the Monterey Bay Aquarium!
 
thanks for all the effort, it's a keeper.

Many thanks Wookiee
 
Oooer! 5.1? You know, I've always fancied doing some 5.1 stuff but I wouldn't even know where to start. I can't even do 2.1 
 
Yeah, I used my Arturia synths, just a little. The Modular provides a few strange sounds here and there using one of its arp presets and doesn't stand out that much to be honest. I use an arp preset from the ARP2600 too, and I don't change the preset at all I liked it that much. Again, it does not dominate the piece but is instantly recognisable.
 
thanks for listening
 
cheers

Thanks so much for listening Daryl
 
I must admit, it's all a bit experimental, that detail, and it's more of a matter of listening and tweaking as I go. I am always amazed at the sounds that come out of my lappy haha!
 
I would love to be able to score something because it would then make me think even more about where "things happen" throughout the track.
 
cheers

Wow! Tom... Thanks for that. I really appreciate your time, especially when it comes to listening to the stuff that I am currently doing. It is so far removed from what I was producing a year or so ago, and I am really enjoying the process. 
 
All the comments here make that process all the more enjoyable.
 
 
cheers

Do it do it do it.
You can get 'stock' video. Give it a go mate.

Just done a quick google for "stock sci-fi footage" and it's frightening!
 
£50 plus for a thirty second clip, and I'm creating nine minutes of audio for jack... Might struggle on this one Daryl, but I'll keep searching

You omitted an important word from your search mate. Free. Try this.
